The Western Australian Family and Domestic Violence Common Risk Assessment and Risk Management Framework (CRARMF)

CRARMF sets common practice standards for family and domestic violence screening, risk assessment, risk management and risk monitoring for all services – mainstream and specialist, government and non-government – in the Western Australian service sector.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA INTERAGENCY COLLABORATION

Family and Domestic Violence Response Team

The Family and Domestic Violence Response Team (FDVRT) is a partnership between the Department for Child Protection and Family Support, WA Police and community sector family and domestic violence services.

The FDVRT aims to improve the safety of child and adult victims of family and domestic violence through a collaborative approach that focuses on timely and early intervention following a police call out to a domestic violence incident. There is a FDVRT in every child protection district and in most regions the team is co-located.

Multi-agency Case Management

Multi-agency case management (MACM) provides a platform for agencies to share information, develop comprehensive risk assessments, plan strategies to mitigate risks and work towards child and adult victim safety and perpetrator accountability. MACM is also important for creating transparency and accountability between agencies about their roles and responsibilities in responding to family and domestic violence.
